Tired of mindlessly spending too much time on your phone? This book offers several strategies to bring awareness to technology usage, fight design with design, and actually give full attention to technology when you do use it.

RECLAIM YOUR MIND is the perfect read for the start of a new year. So many people struggle with addiction to their phone, unhealthy time spent on social media, etc. Vidyarthi has some really good suggestions that I look forward to implementing. His advice is conveyed wisely and without judgment or condescension. This book should have a wide appeal for readers of all ages. I highly recommend it for self-help readers looking for how to have a healthier relationship to technology.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance e-galley; all opinions in my review are 100% my own.

Reclaim your mind
Synopsis
Self help book for those struggling with technology addiction. It has 7 different strategies and tips on how to limit screen time. It goes over the technical challenges with technology that most people face.

Thoughts
I loved chapter 7 of this book, how to reduce friction. That’s the main one that I’ll try and implement in my life. Though most of the tips are useful. While you don’t have to completely cut out technology from your life, there are still steps and hacks that you can take to improve your usage. I liked chapter 9 as well, positivity is important. I enjoyed having personal recounts of how the author has used technology. It helped me relate to the book better.

Audience
Pretty much for anyone with technology addictions. But it could also be targeted towards both youth and adults. So the book has a wide range of people. Something the author or publisher could do is check the data of how many people use technology and where and target that area.
